Ten off-radar potential destinations for Tebow

For weeks, I’ve been pushing the Tebow-to-Jacksonville or Tebow-to-Miami theory if/when Peyton Manning picks the Broncos. Not long after that the “if” has become a “when,” I reiterated that idea, throwing out the Patriots as an option that at first blush looked like a ridiculous proposition but given the presence of former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels and head coach Bill Belichick (close friend of Tebow’s former Florida coach, Urban Meyer) and in light of Belichick’s penchant for outside-the-box thinking, it makes plenty of sense to make Tebow into something other than a quarterback.

But are there other not-so-obvious destinations? Teams that shouldn’t be interested but, when considering all factors, maybe should be.

It’s a given that any team that acquires Tebow, whether he’s traded or, quite possibly, cut would face a significant decision: (1) install Tebow as the starting quarterback and design an offense that suits his strengths and minimizes his weaknesses; (2) make him a backup, part-time quarterback (which would require one playbook for Tebow and one for the “real” quarterback); or (3) move him to a new position. On the other side of the coin, Tebow will generate significant interest, not just in football circles but in the mainstream media. Ultra-casual fans who watch only the Super Bowl will start following Tebow’s new team. It will be an opportunity to craft a truly national brand.

So taking those important business realities into account, let’s consider the teams that should at least have the conversation regarding whether there’s a way to bring Tebowmania to town without unnecessarily undermining football interests — and notwithstanding Brian Billick’s warning about the Broncos’ effort to move Tebow: “If they don’t want him, why should I?”

And so which teams should consider Tebow, either as a full-time quarterback (not likely), part-time gimmick quarterback (more likely) or “football player” to be used at a position to be determined (most likely)?

1. The Rams.

They volunteered to play in England in part because they believe that it will make them like the Cowboys and Steelers. It won’t.

Tebow could.

Throw in the ongoing struggles to sell tickets (sellouts undoubtedly come from owner Stan Kroenke buying up the unsold seats at 34 cents on the dollar) and a possible move to Los Angeles, and Tebow makes plenty of sense wearing horns from a creature other than, you know, the devil.

2. The Vikings.

Speaking of horns, Tebow could help maximize local interest during what could be a lame-duck season in Minnesota. The Vikings are getting no closer to getting a new stadium built. Tebowmania could be the thing that gets it done.

Here is the logic for the Vikes:
1. Ponder did not impress anyone last year.
2. Tebow makes any lack of WRs less worrisome.
3. Reunited with Harvin (a pseudo WR).
4. Instant perfect backup in Joe Webb.
5. Power Running Game with Tebow, Harvin, Adrian Peterson, and Gerhart.
6. How else can the Vikings hope to compete in perhaps the strongest division in the NFC? Mix it up!
7. Stadium drive needs momentum.

Why no mention of the Browns?!?!? They have basically told Colt McCoy to get used to the bench and they aren’t even mentioned!?!?!? President Mike’s ego is big enough to think he can help Timmy, right?

Honestly I think Belichick would be able to find a way to turn him into a weapon. Not as a QB though. Look at what he did with Vrabel coming off the line and out of the back field. He would be a master-mind, and teams wouldn’t know how to game plan against it.

As an Eagles fan, it is a great fear of mine that Reid will decide to take up another QB project like this one. I think it would be a horrible distraction, especially after all the nonsense last year.

Tebow is a great person, i don’t know that it’s all his fault, but somehow his presence on a team suddenly makes it all about him. The last thing we need to worry about is a pointless QB competition after Vick misses a game.

Yeah why don’t you include CFL and Arena league teams too. Most of the cities listed have knowledgeable fans that would boo the sight of Tebow in their uniforms, they prefer winners ON the field, not off.

Seriously – what QB he’s coached has won a Superbowl? What QB has he coached to a HOF career? How many NFL MVP’s? Heck – I’d settle for any QB of his that’s left Philly and done something somewhere else?

If I had a guy, a QB that was lacking some refinement – I’d send him to McCarthy LONG before Reid.

Flynn might be a bust but he played a game better than any starter ever did for Reid.

I think the criteria really has to include teams with quarterbacks that can realistically be taken off the field in the red zone. Brees, Vick, Romo, Roethlisberger???????? No way those guys come off the field when their team is about to score. Ain’t gonna happen.

Call me crazy, but I think the best place for him to go would be Green Bay. Now hear me out. Tebow goes to Green Bay, a place known for their fans. They will give him respect there and there is no way he is going to be the starter, so there’s no debate. He provides a quality upgrade from Graham Harrell as a backup QB, can learn from one of the best QBs in the game, and if by chance Rodgers does go down, he will look great in the system. Matt Flynn looked great in this system, and i’m not saying that he isn’t a good quarterback, but when his Offensive Coordinator offers him basically nothing to lead his team, that raises a huge red flag to me. He can go there, start over, learn from one the best and be put in a pro style system that utilizes the spread on a regular basis. Probably won’t happen, but I think it would work out great for both Green Bay and Tim.

Umm the bills? They were looking at him in the draft. Not to mention they already seen a rise in sales with Mario. And gailey uses these type of gimmick/gadget players. Example being kordell Stewart and bras smith.

Sounds crazy but how about the Raiders? If for nothing else but to get info about Denver (along with coach Dennis Allen) and to use in some packages. Raiders need a back-up for Carson Palmer. Tebow is better than Kyle Boller.

It makes me sick that there are that many people out there that give 1/2 a sh!t about what happens to tebow. The guy proved it last yr that yes he may have been a good college qb but has no skills as a NFL qb. I shot ducks that look just like his long ball every fall. STAY AWAY FROM MN TEBOW! I would rather endure another 3-13 season!

Dell, Tebow will not look good in the “system”. Do you know what the GB system is? Its 80 yard bombs and back shoulder throws. Its pinpoint passes 40 yards down the field. Its not even a system. Its called talent. God, how much football have you even watched in your life?

That’s easy. No one can. His accuracy, motion, and footwork are all terrible.

It would be interesting to see Tebow as an H-back in the NFL, but no sane GM is going to take on $4.5M in salary guarantees to convert him. There might be an insane owner or two out there, though, concerned more with jersey and ticket sales than actually winning games.

The Broncos will end up cutting Tebow at the appropriate time, when they can spread his remaining guaranteed salary over into next year. Where he goes then is anybody’s guess.

Yes it is a pass based offense, but when Flynn got there he was no where near the passer he is today. Besides, a lot of the packers throws are quick slants, curls, and yes back shoulder throws. It would require a little bit of tweaking to fit Tebow, but it’s a system he could grow in.

Seriously – what QB he’s coached has won a Superbowl? What QB has he coached to a HOF career? How many NFL MVP’s? Heck – I’d settle for any QB of his that’s left Philly and done something somewhere else?

If I had a guy, a QB that was lacking some refinement – I’d send him to McCarthy LONG before Reid.

Flynn might be a bust but he played a game better than any starter ever did for Reid.

——-

lol Brett Favre on your own team, clown. The league didn’t start last year.

Dell, its called practice. Flynn practiced making all those throws for 2 or 3 years before he had his shot. News flash, he did not score all those points and yards on slants and curls. He was launching pinpoint bombs down field. Now explain to me how long it would take Tebow to develop like that? 5 years?

I don’t think you could be any more long by saying ” as a full-time quarterback (not likely), part-time gimmick quarterback (more likely) or “football player” to be used at a position to be determined (most likely)?”

Chances of a GM wanting to take on the the Tim Tebow circus only for him to play a position that no one know how good he can be at? None.

Chances of GM or HC wanting to bring in him in as a part-time or gimmick QB if they think the have another “real qb”. Slim to none. This is basically self destruction, Tebow mania will infect your fan base, ruin any chances of winning with your “real QB”. The slim chance I give this of happening is that a team like the Dolphins, Jaguars, or Vikings, get him then he can’t win the starting job so they give him a package to work with.

The most likely scenario is that a team brings him in as a full time QB. This would be strictly a business decision by upper management from a team who already knows that can’t win so they deciede to sell tickets while not winning for a year or two get a high draft pick. Let Tebowmania run his course and let Tim prove that he is not good enough to be in the NFL and move on.

I found this article quite disturbing. It made me realize this is the kind of crazy move Andy Reid might actually make…I guess they consider him a guru because he made #5 look like a decent QB for years?

Really, Ponder has had less than one year under centre and you clowns are till trying to find a replacement. I didn’t know rookie QBs were judged solely on their first year and then kicked to the curb if they don’t make it to the playoffs or win the division. Why we are at it why don’t we make this thing retroactive and dump all the feet QBs of now and past who had non-stellar first seasons…

Hell the guy didn’t even get a full offseason.

I think people also fail to realize the Vikings will not be in contention for the NFCN for at least two years. At Least! They have more holes than a bullet riddled block of Swiss Cheese. It more than offence, it’s the whole team.

You guys are acting like Tebow would be going to these teams to play QB. He could just be an “offensive specialist” who comes in for short yardage draws, wildcat plays, and trick plays. Could actually work in KC.

I could see the Jets picking Tebow up. They run alot of gadget plays.Not to mention they got to witness Tebow in action last year BEATING them.
He could fill the leon Washington/ Brad Smith Wildcat position.

I think I’m going to be the only one to post a comment like this, but I don’t see Tebow as a hopeless cause. He’s big, strong, young, healthy, has a good arm, has won games in the league (including a playoff game), and unlike some NFL players, he’s never going to end up standing in a police lineup at 3 a.m.

Does he need to learn and improve? Absolutely, but so do most young quarterbacks. At least he has size, arm strength and a willingness to work hard. You could do a lot worse when looking for a young backup QB to groom. And unlike most young backup QBs, this one sells tickets. If I were running a team, I’d be tempted to give him a chance.

If I’m Tebow I’m hoping to somehow land in San Francisco to play for the guy who turned the last ” bust” from an Urban Mayer offense into a solid NFL QB in a single year. If Harbaugh can’t save him, he’ll be off the the league where they punt on 3rd down.

I think the author is failing to realize that Tebowmania took off because the dude was starting and winning games in a very improbable, dramatic fashion.
I don’t think many fans are going to spend a lot of money to go watch him sit on the bench. Now if they have a package of plays for him to get on the field, sure, but I don’t think too many coaches would be keen on the idea of ownership forcing someone out on the field to sell tickets.

lol Brett Favre on your own team, clown. The league didn’t start last year.

*******************************

Well, clown, Reid wasn’t his QB coach until AFTER he won a SB. Favre had ALREADY won and been successful.

So again, Reid hasn’t coached a SB winning QB and considering Favre didn’t do a thing SB wise SINCE Reid became his QB coach (for what – 2 years before he went to Philly) I’d say Reid apparently didn’t help him all that much.

Mike McCarthy did say he’d love to work with Tebow before he was drafted by the Broncos. Thats the only connection GB has ever had to Tebow.

I highly doubt Ted Thompson would trade for him even for a 5th rounder and Im not even sure I would want him to but the guy isn’t chopped liver. He is a pretty good football player, just not neccesarily a QB in the traditional sense.

Remember when God told Reggie White to come to GB, and when God told Randall Cobb to return a kickoff 8 yards deep when he wasn’t supposed to and took it to the house. Maybe just maybe God will get involved in this one too, the other two worked out pretty well.

I don’t believe that Tebowmania will take hold by bringing Tebow in to hold a clipboard or play tight end. I would bring him in to compete for the position or serve as a backup to a QB who will be headed to the bench if things go badly early. Tebow did a decent job in that role this past year.

I do find it funny, by the way, how so many everyday fans are are now experts on quarterback footwork and mechanics when discussing Tim Tebow. Philip Rivers throws the football like a shot put, but no one discusses his mechanics.

McCarthy loves the FB/TE players. Partly because they double as special teamers (don’t see Tebow doing that), and partly because they can do different things in the offense. I could see Tebow in Green Bay primarily as one of these hybrid role players, and secondarily as a 3rd string quarterback. Makes more sense than some of the teams listed in the top ten list. I would have no objection to giving up a 5th round pick for the guy.

Can we PLEASE get off the “Andy Reid is a QB guru” talk?

Seriously – what QB he’s coached has won a Superbowl? What QB has he coached to a HOF career? How many NFL MVP’s? Heck – I’d settle for any QB of his that’s left Philly and done something somewhere else?

If I had a guy, a QB that was lacking some refinement – I’d send him to McCarthy LONG before Reid.

Flynn might be a bust but he played a game better than any starter ever did for Reid.
————————————————–Andy Reid was the Quarterback coach from 1992-1998 for the Green Bay Packers and a certain Future HOF comes to mind that he coached up, Brett Favre.. Just saying

I’d take Tebow on the Eagles for the next year or two. You’d have an inaccurate left-handed QB that will never win a Super Bowl replacing an inaccurate left-handed QB that will never win a Super Bowl who also happens to be total piece of crap. (should also be noted that Tebow has more playoff wins the last two years than said piece of crap).

I think this “Tebow will FILL a stadium” thing is getting a little out of hand. Does he have a following? Definitely. Will thousands of extra fans flock to see a quarterback who can barely muster a spiral on a marginal team? Maybe, but doubtful.

And I love how all the Tebowmaniacs were b!tching about how Tebow had “no one” to throw to, or else the Broncos would have been a LOT better. And now that it looks like Timmy’s out and Peyton’s in (with pretty much the same supporting cast), the Bronco’s are Super Bowl contenders. Just an interesting observation.

I think if the Jaguars can get Tim Tebow for a decent price they should get him. They already have the coaches in place that can make Tim Tebow a better quarterback. They coaches were hand selected to help a struggling Blaine Gabbert, why not let them try to get something out of Tebow too.

if the eagles could get him for a song they should. Andy Reid makes mediocher qb’s good all the time. Vick is likely to moss 2-4 games most years and the offense could be similar in the sense that you can have some designed runs that the line is used to blocking for. Obviously he can not throw like Vick but he can run. Also not being in the b belt would keep fan chatter to a minimum.

Tebow should take a year off and go play for the CFL Toronto Argonauts who then wou;d seell out all year. He’s perfect for the CFL game just like Flutie was. Then he could come back and join the Raiders as they overtake the Broncos.

What the hell makes you think that just because Teblow is in town that tickets will automatically fly off the shelves?

People don’t go to games to watch guys roam the sidelines…which is exactly what he is going to do. This was his one shot at starting, and no sooner did Elway say he deserved to be the starter in 2012…then he plunged a knife in his back.

Until Teblow’s agent/disciples/cult/followers/JC finally accept the fact that he will never be a starting QB in the NFL ever again and must change positions…then this is all one very fruitless endeavor.

yea it is just ashame that the team that ends up with will only be getting a qb who took a 1-4 team to a division title and a playoff win. oh wait that was a result of the defense and all the great players around him right? you know the very same players who were 1-4 before he took over! so he is not a classic nfl drop back passer so what? he won for them and that is what he was paid to do right? what he did was amazing whether you like the guy or not. think about it for a minute,he was playing for a coach and a whatever the hell elway is who did not want him on the team to begin with. that means besides no off season workouts he got zero reps when camp started. he won with raw talent so why is it so hard to believe he could not improve as a passer with someone who was willing to take a chance and actually work with him on making him better? I can’t wait for all the excuses when peyton does not lead the broncos to the promised land. you won’t have tebow to blame it on! they will be this years eagles! all hype and fail to deliever.

He is due 1.1 million for this season, I am willing to pay half of that if Mr. Rooney will split it with me. After the season, if all works out, then it is on the Organization to decide if they want to resign him. I will not pay for any additional bonuses or travel expenses. NO JOKE………

I think you’re giving Tebow wayyy to much credit.
_______________________________
Bingo. Tebow has two main fan bases, Gator fans and casual fans who love him for the kind of person he is. Unfortunately for Tebow, that will eventually wear off if he can’t prove that he’s actually a good QB. Having said that, the notoriety that Tebow brings with him is actually a double edged sword. Yes they’ll sell some tickets early on, but unless he’s sitting behind a truly elite QB the team had better be prepared to put their franchise in Tebow’s hands. That devoted fan base people talk about will make life pure hell for the front office, coaching staff, and other players if they don’t. That brings us to the idea of “packages” for Tebow. If you do have an elite QB like Brady, Brees, or Rodgers, who in their right mind is going to take them off the field and disrupt the flow of the offense to have Tebow run some gimmick plays? No, if a team is going to bring in Tebow they need to be willing to play him, and play him as a QB. That means completely retooling your offense and planning on trying to win a lot of small ball games. That simply doesn’t make sense for too many teams. Jacksonville and Miami are the only teams that could honestly expect to really profit from the move, and even then unless Tebow succeeds that will only last so long.

You name 10 teams that are not the Buffalo Bills. The main reason I say the Bills are perfect because Chan Gailey has taken QB’s like Tebow (Kordell, Tyler Thigpen) and use their strengths in creative ways. Fitz remains the starter but now you can have packages for Tebow to run. But the best part is Gailey will already be prepared to adjust the offense to Tebow’s style if he has become the starter due to injury. Where most coaches would be worried about having Tebow being the starter Gailey would make it work.

That’s because 90% of the morons here think that by posting to a site that begins with “ProFootball” makes them experts. If they studied anything but their own poops in the toilet, most likely checking for “rest rings” to ensure a proper push and splash, they’d realize that TT had a better first season than Elway. I’m a huge Elway fan but TT didn’t line up under the wrong person on his first NFL snap.

Guess He should be glad he wasn’t in charge back then…..Tebow is better than he was at this stage of the game.
I understand wanting Pay-Ton. As a Dolphan you get it. But I hope we trade for Tebow, he is the next Steve Young. I said it before and I’ll say it again. . He is a winner.
PS- God is an imaginary friend for grown- ups. Deal with it. Let the down votes begin 😉

Name ONE fan base that would accept the Rams record. I hope you enjoy egg because the Vikings are going to LA. Just like the Lakers.

1. The Rams.

They volunteered to play in England in part because they believe that it will make them like the Cowboys and Steelers. It won’t.

Tebow could.

Throw in the ongoing struggles to sell tickets (sellouts undoubtedly come from owner Stan Kroenke buying up the unsold seats at 34 cents on the dollar) and a possible move to Los Angeles, and Tebow makes plenty of sense wearing horns from a creature other than, you know, the devil.

How are the Bills not on this list? They were considering taking him with their 2nd round pick but McDaniels swooped back in and stole him. The Bills run an offense with Chan Gailey that benefits athletic passers and while they just paid Fitzpatrick, he didnt show enough down the stretch to warrant that money. A read-option mis direction package involving Tebow, Fred Jackson/CJ Spiller could be productive.

I can’t believe I am joining in on this ,but the idea of Tebow in a Buc uniform is interesting and would definitly sell tickets! But so would Peyton Manning. Oh well , maybe the “new” Bucs won’t be blacked out too much this year. GO BUCS.

Exactly, keep him and groom him. Vick couldn’t hit his sister in the eye if she was going down on him at first. He RAN first and everyone awed. Now, mostly from the prayer thing he’s a loser. I’m an Atheist but I don’t care if he “Tebows”. Better than killing dogs, Vick, raping women, Ben, beating women,1/2 the rest of the ghetto beast out there. Or how ’bout stompin’ downed players (insert Suh or others). NFL fans don’t want class and character because apparently they exhibit less and less.

No one has mentioned the best destination (in my opinion, of course)–Tennesse Titans. They already have a young mobile QB with questionable accuracy (Locker) so they won’t have to revamp their offense for Tebow. In fact, you could rotate QBs per down and keep defenses on their toes. Really, what more can you get out of Hasselbeck? He’s serviceable but will not get this team to the Super Bowl and generates no excitement in the fan base. How fired up would the fans get having to cheer for an ex-Gator, especially Tebow?

I’d love to see the cowboys or my beloved Giants sign him. He’s valuable in all the different things he can do in a game. He can even be a short yardage specialist. Wherever he goes, I hope he’ll be nurtured and respected. You can all say he’s a terrible QB. But he’s not a terrible person so I hope he’s welcomed and appreciated wherever he lands.

I can see Bill Belichick bringing him. Give him a strong football player and he will figure a way to use him. that is why every year teams are trying to copy what BB did the year before just like this year with the 2 TE’s.

How about the Falcons? At least Tebow scored and won a game in the playoffs. The Matt Ryan experiment is a failure, the guy has the measurables but isn’t a leader and cracks under pressure, so why not sell tickets at least? Heck, with weapons like White/Jones/Gonzalez/Turner and a decent o-line a QB like Tebow might be able to win some playoff games, almost any QB could, except Matt Ryan. You could try to say the same for the Jets, but at least Sanchez shows up in the playoffs.

I understand the Auburn Tigers are offering six figures … but I digress 😉

Yeah, sure, bring him to Pittsburgh! Tebow’s a heckuva football player and we need a new running back! I’m good with that! We also need some depth at backup QB, and Tebow would at least be more durable than Leftwich.

Call me crazy, but I think the best place for him to go would be Green Bay. Now hear me out. Tebow goes to Green Bay, a place known for their fans. They will give him respect there and there is no way he is going to be the starter, so there’s no debate.

I like this line of thinking – he need’s to be a backup, restructure perhaps, and learn to throw, w/o being a threat to the starter. It will take 2 years. – If he could learn to throw, his scrambling and strength would be asset as w/ Big Ben. The running he does is great but too risky – look at the beating he took in his final game where he hurt a rib. The Tebow/Vick style just isn’t a long term plan.

Pack, Steelers, Saints ? someone with an unchallenged leader at QB. Pats too crowded I think with 2 capable backups. Actually seems like Denver is also a good choice. I guess Elway thinks he cant teach him ?

You have been ragging on the Saints since your girlfriend Brett got his butt kicked.
Quit crying like a little girl, it’s never going to change. You just look more and more foolish, petty and ridiculous, but then again, you’ve had a lot of practice.

The only way the Raiders over take Denver in the next 2 yrs is if Missy Davis rides Mr Bowens face… doodle flaps beware! Bowen like Steak! Meat curtains PART! Bowens is a meat eater. Snap doors CRINGE, Bowens likes the Sunday funnies.

I agree. I want Denver to keep him. They already put 6 mil in roster bonus, what’s another 1.2 mil to keep him?. I think they are trying to get top dollar if they can. If they can’t then cool. Idiots here don’t study. They just puke spurm (spl to pas censors)

Pats fan: I’d take him but not for more than a 6 or 7 pick. And I’d shoot for a back position similar to what we saw in Hernandez with some coverage blocking perhaps? He’s athletic, big, strong and fairly quick…

I would just worry about the media drama anywhere he goes. Ugh. I do hope it stops next year.

All the haters are out in force! People want to know what a hater looks like… all these jackasses with their stupid wal-mart and burger king jokes. It took a once-in-a lifetime shot at a Top 5 all -time quarterback for the broncos to replace Tebow. It’s not like they were trying to re-sign Brady Quinn was it? Only idiots would see this as an indictment of Tebow. He’ll have plenty of options and he’ll be in the league for a long time. Hopefully the broncos will do the right thing and release him. I don’t blame Elway for going after manning but he hasn’t ever been honest with Tebow and the dude doesn’t deserve being lied to. Release him and let him go where he can get another shot. If they don’t then I think he should hold out and force them to cut him like they did with Orton. Thanks Tim for the wonderful year and us true football fans will be rooting for you!

I think my Packers should try to sign Tim Tebow make him a backup to A-Rod…Aaron Rodgers and him are similar in their scrambling abilities,Mike McCarthy and Ben McAdoo can put him through QB school to get him familiar with the offense and Aaron can help him to read and understand defenses better. most people forget that when Aaron first came his mechanics wasn’t that good and his throwing was terrible…with that being said I think Green Bay can help Tebow become a pure passer!!! #TimTebowToGreenBay

The two people with the Wal-Mart jokes: Do you realize Tim Tebow can make millions just from speaking engagements, commercials, and writing more books? He’s already written a New York Times Best Seller. He is playing football because he wants to play football. He is a hard worker and he is going to succeed wherever they will give him a chance.

I don’t understand why Eagle fans don’t like this. All the guy does is win and uplift your team. I think he needs a couple years of getting his timing down and get into a West Coast Rythm. Shoot we had McNabb for all those years and he couldn’t rocket the ball at the broad side of a barn. Plus McNabb crumbled at the end of the game. This guy gets up for the last minutes of a game. Why are sports people so stupid. Guess sports is all about how you look and not what you do lol.

You obviously don’t know Minnesotans if you think Tebowmania would be a good thing here. This ain’t the deep south. We’re amused by Tebow, but not enamored. Plus the Vikings already have a super athletic backup QB who doesn’t throw all that good.

Tebow is only a temporary solution for ticket sales. He isn’t going to make anyone the Cowboys or Steelers and to say so is just ridiculous.

Once he fails, which any QB who can’t throw a spiral will, he isn’t going to be able to sell out any stadium and everything goes back to the way it was.

Winning is what sells and if you want to be like hte Steelers or Cowboys you have to win a lot. Wasting roster spots on a QB who can’t play the position efficiently is a sure way to go in the other direction.

I love all of these comments about please don’t let Tebow come to my team. We want to win. Are you kidding me? Did you check his record last year (yes, I realize it was not all him)? The Broncos were flatlining with Orton behind center. All this kid does is win, due in most part because of a will stronger than all of you basement jockeys put together.

Seriously – what QB he’s coached has won a Superbowl? What QB has he coached to a HOF career? How many NFL MVP’s? Heck – I’d settle for any QB of his that’s left Philly and done something somewhere else?

If I had a guy, a QB that was lacking some refinement – I’d send him to McCarthy LONG before Reid.

Flynn might be a bust but he played a game better than any starter ever did for Reid.

lol Brett Favre on your own team, clown. The league didn’t start last year.

OWNED. I love it when Eagle fan gets loose on people.

If you mean Tebow is really a big, bruising running back, I’ll go with that. If you mean Tebow is a crybaby diva who’d pretend to be sick and let down his teammates just to stick it to owners in a contract dispute … no, not a chance.
